Descriptions
Adobe Acrobat and Reader versions 2018.011.20063 and earlier, 2017.011.30102 and earlier, and 2015.006.30452 and earlier have a heap overflow vulnerability. Successful exploitation could lead to arbitrary code execution.
Adobe Acrobat y Reader 2018.011.20063 y anteriores, 2017.011.30102 y anteriores y 2015.006.30452 y anteriores, tienen una vulnerabilidad de desbordamiento de memoria dinámica (heap). La explotación con éxito de esta vulnerabilidad podría permitir la ejecución arbitraria de código.
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Adobe Acrobat Pro DC. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.
The specific flaw exists within the parsing of BMP images embedded inside EMF files. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of the length of user-supplied data prior to copying it to a fixed-length, heap-based buffer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process.
